Answer:

a book of matches

Step-by-step explanation:

Claes Oldenburg, is an American sculptor born in January 1929 and he is notable for the public arts he makes which are the replicas of everyday objects. He made most of his remarkable projects in collaboration with Coosje van Bruggen, a Dutch-born American sculptor, he later married in 1977.

They were commissioned to erect a 68-foot-high sculpture based on a matchbook cover during the Olympic period in 1992 and the front view of the Mistos is like that of the Antoni Gaudí's cathedral of the Sagrada Familia.
